www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLwQefFxFVYThis is just fabulous. "Mean" Gene Okerlund running down the SummerSlam card in the studio, retro style, including some classic Gene quips, references the $9.99 as cheaper than ringing his WCW hotline, and calls Tom and Renee "Sean Mooney and Mike McGuirk" haha!!

Same when Dok Hendrix (Michael Hayes) do the run down of live event cards and what not when it would show on Superstars.

They need this for every Big Four PPV. I want either Vince or Gene announcing the Rumble contestants when the show opens.

I'd love if Vince actually recorded that open to the video recently. I don't know if he has the voice to do that anymore though??

I love this, but it's also a little depressing in a way, in that this made Summerslam seems like a big deal like events in the old days; and they don't do this all the time.

I hope they do a Royal Rumble retro report next year with wrestlers doing their own promos like the older superstars did back in the day.
Also, I wish they would air these kinds of Reports on Raw(or Smackdown) instead of those recaps.

I think they do a PPV "Access All Areas" YouTube show a few days before every PPV that shows the card. I think Renee hosts it but I've never watched one, even the screenshot just looks so uniform with everything else they do studio-wise, compared to putting a bit more effort into and more tongue and cheek like this. |

Hearing the retro Summerslam theme and Mean Gene running through the card actually got me more pumped for Summerslam than the entire last month of Raws.

This is better than everything they put on television. They need to just inject some old-school into the product permanently.
